    Default No camera

    I was driving through Chesham last Friday and had to double-take. Walking along the pavement, close to the road was a beautiful peacock. Couldn't really stop and didn't have the camera with me anyway. Must say it was a bit of a shock though.

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    I have read that Peacocks can fly and often fly up into trees in the evening to keep safe. I don't know how far they can fly though, can't say I've ever seen one a my local reserve or flying over my garden..................now that would be a sight

    There's a bit more to my day out. After Chesham, went to the World's End Garden centre near Aylesbury. While walking round the greenhouse plants area, a robin was flying backwards and forwards inside. Seemed to be very unsettled. As we went on a bit I almost stepped on a tiny fledgling robin on the floor. It looked like a ball of wool. This made me realise that the one flying around was the worried mother. So I managed to get one of the staff to bring a small box which we used to move the baby to a safer place and it popped out to where the mother had better access. Had to leave it at that. Hope she managed to encourage it to fly.
